Figuring to Fit Minds.

sYes," said a down town tailor the other
day. "ftting people with clothes is just about
a. often a matter Of temperament as it isany-
thing else. We can fit bodies well enough,
but it takes a great deal Of skill and hard
work and figuring to fit minds. And about
half the time it's the mind that we have to fit
rather than the body. Some minds are large
wasted and angular at the same time, and
there is no tailor alive that can get around
them unless he Is tremendously agile. Some
times the minds change after we've measured
them and before the clothes are tried on to
them. Some minds that We have got the
knack Of fitting change their shape gradually
as the years roll ON, and, with increasing age.
increasing size and added curves and angles,
get 30 that there is no approaching a ft for
them. There's nothing for them TODD in such
q case but to go to another tailor, and it's one
Of the strangest things in the world that when
they do 50 they often resume their normal
proportions in a manner that is almost
miraculous But, bless you'll they'll swell
again, and get so that they can't be fitted.
"The~ influence of money on the shape Of a
mind is one Of the things that we have todeal
with. You can trace every additional $50
that . man has put in the bank or invested in
stocks or bonds by some mental protuberance
or other that you have got tomeasure around
in making him a suit Of clothes. Yes, it's q
great knack fitting clothes to minds!"-Bos.

LIFE ON THE BoSPORUe.

View Of . Turkish Kitchen-1n Door
Wretchedness-The Sea Breeze.
AL Of the gardens are surrounded by walls,
no matter what shape-square or triangular,
or whatever direction the street has happened
to take. Queer and heavy wooden doors
mark the entrance, and when open often
bring to view pretty green gardens. More
often, however, these doors open directly
into the house, Of which the walls form one
side. The upper story usually projects over
the top, affording the women good views OF
the passers-by. It seems very singular to be
watched by SO many unseen eyes, but this
appears to be the only means Of amusement
the Turkish women have, unless they them
selves 60 out to promenade and gossip. They
seem t live chiefly in these upper rooms.
It Is q curious fact that in most houses it
Is q view of the kitchen and surroundings
that first greet one. They make very little
Of the entrance, and q visitor may have to
wander through all sorts Of apartments be-
fore reaching the reception room. As yet
we have not had the good fortune to be ad-
mitted into a harem, but as we glance in
when passing we see that most of these poor
homes are utterly devoid Of everything but
bare necessities Of life and often these are
lacking. OF stoves they know nothing, SO
in cold weather they wear a large amount OF
clothing, generally wadded, and then they sit
around their ''mongol'' or charcoal holder.
It is Q remarkable fact that the houses are
chiefly windows. Surely they get all the
light and sunshine possible, but at the same
time the casing is SO loose that the wind also
finds easy access.
In this poor settlement within the walls,
and in fact IN most parts, I believe, there is
no drainage whatsoever. An open ditch
runs here by the walls and into it is thrown
all the refuse. Many houses connect with
this, but the way is all open for gases and
germs Of disease to return to the homes.
How many times VIZ ask ourselves: "What
il it that keeps these people alive?" Then
when the wind blows the current Of the Bos-
porus is quickened and we know that it il
these fresh sea breezes that carry all germs
AVA and the water that conveys so much
rubbish from its banks. The castles, situated
as they are on two points, catch all the
beeezes that blow from either end Of the
Bosporus, and thus the inhabitants here are
particularly favored with pure, fresh air.
The current here too is unusually strong and
thus also favors these poor people.-Constan-
tinople Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

time the change was effected, and one could

Now the languid anner is chic. The girls

years ago are half asleep to-day. You would
not believe they were the same creatures. The

A Counterfeit Ban Ticket.

The Arion society has added a curiosity to
its collections. It is a counterfeit ball ticket.
The imitation is of the coupon. which was de-
tached from the big ticket for presentation at
tho door and WIS The work of a well known
designer of this city, whose facility with the
pen is great. He made it on q wager that he
would get into the ball without paying, and
success crowned his ingenuity. The imitation
is quite close enough to deceive any one in the
rush of crowd at the entrance to q public
bali room, and the society values it much
more than it would the SO whose loss it rep
resents.
Ten or twelve years ago there was quite an
endemic of counterfeit tickets received at the
Academy of Music during an Italian opera
season. For weeks they were received unde-
tected. When the forger was spotted he was
found to be a photographic engraver with
more love for music than money TO gratify II
with. I think it was Maretzek who was man
aging that season-or perhaps Strakosch. At
any rate, whoever it was took the matter

ious penman for the balance OF the season.

sufices to convince nj that writing lisa rare
accomplishment among dancing men, and
they should be thankful for the new markers,
which take the place Of pencils. They con-
tain the owners name in raised type and a
little ink pad, and are furnished with a clasp
by which they may be fastened to a gentle

The only objection to them is that they quite
preclude the possibility Of installing ones

One Scientific Man Not Infallible.

I was born in Philadelphia, and when five
years old received an accidental cut in the
left eye, from a sharp missile in the hand of q
playmate of my own age. The injury was
not a fatal one, and if the doctors had let me
alone it is probable that I should ave had
the use Of two good eyes for the rest Of my
life. After the wound healed it was covered
by a slight scab, which the physician said
must be removed by the use of nitrate Of sill
yer. This he applied in so largea quantity
that the eye was scared as with a hot iron,
and the sight went out forever.
A ferce Inflammation was set up, passed
to the other eye, and with two blazing fur
naces under my forehead I spent two years
in a room dark as night, on a diet Of cruel,
mush and molasses and rice, with almost
daily doses of medicine, cuppings, ~leechings
and bleeding administered after the heroic
method of that time, the eyes kept constantly
wet with a solution of sugar of lead. When
I came out of the prison it was with q small
fraction Of the right eye, for the solution had
left a deposit, which, uniting with the lymph
from the Inflammation, had formed opacities
in the corner, which in time blotted the sun
from my sky and shut out from me the
beauty of the world.-Rev. w. b. Milburn
In Lippincott's.

How Much the Quantity Exceeds Thas
Of the State Of Maine.
A statement from Lord Macaulay led mo to
. practical examination Of lrelands resources
/ went at it in q plain farmer like way and
examined the statistics relating to Irelandas
production. Igathered all my information
from British authority, but could get no later
accounts than for the year 1880 and for the
years preceding, and I give You the result Of
my examination, frankly confessing that /
was astounded at the magnitude of the figures.
In the year 1880 Ireland produced 100000
bushels Of wheat. But wheat has ceased to
be the crop of Ireland. She produced ,OOO, 600
bushels of barley. But barley is not ono Of
the great crops Of Ireland. She produced
100000 bushels of oats, . very ~extraordin-
ary yield, considering Ireland's small area.
The next item I think every one will recog-
nize Is peculiarly adapted to Ireland. on
potatoes she produced 100000 bushels,
within 6 5000, 600 Of the whole product Of the
United States for the same year. In turnips
and mangels together she produced 185, O00, 600
bushels, vastly greater in weight than the
largest cotton crop Of the United Statea She
produced of fax 100000 Of pounds and Of
cabbage $50, OOO, 600 of pounds She produced
Of hay 3,S00,O0 0 tons. She had ON her thou
sand hills and in her valleys over 4,0O0,O00
head Of cattle, and in the same pasturage she
had 3,50O, 900 head Of sheep. She had 100000
horses and 21O, 900 asses and mules. During
the year 1880 she exported to England over
70o,0o 0 cattle, over 100000 sheep and nearly
$4,000 swine. Pray, remember. all these
came from a territory not quite as large as
the state of Maine, and from an area of Guilt
walton less than 20, 000,O 900 Of acres in extent.
But with this magnificent abundance on
this fertile land, rivaling the richness Of the
ancient Goshen, there are men in want of
food and appealing to-day to the charity of
the stranger and compelled to ask aims
through their blood and kindred in America.
Why should this sad condition occur in q land
that overlows with plenty and exports mil
lions of produce to other countries3 Accord
ing to the inspired command Of the great
la ~giver of Israel, @Thou shalt not muzzle
the box that treadeth out the corn" and St
Paul, in quoting this text in his first epistle
to Timothy, added: 1.-THE laborer is worthy
Of his reward" and yet many of the men en-
gagged in producing these wonderful harvests
are to-day lacking bread to satisfy their
hunger.-Great Irish Struggle.
